Every morning he comes out of his tent and shouts at us.... He tells us we are the servants of king Saul.... Initially we did not believe him.... But we have begun to believe that he is right.... That we are nothing more than the servants of Saul... For we know we cannot win this battle.... We have good brave soldiers among us.... King Saul included.... But we know too that none of us can fight this giant Goliath.... We have all begun to feel terrified.... In fact, we have begun to feel we want to run away the moment he appears and gives his LOUD speech... Of course, his speech is so loud that we cannot outrun his voice.... We do not know what to do.... Even the king does not know what to do.".... Please read the typed out attachment when the Israeli army becomes very afraid of the words of the giant Goliath.....

The Israeli army feels very defeated in their battle against their enemy, the Philistine army. The reason is that this army has brought with them a giant named Goliath. He is not only tall and strong, he is very loud. They have heard his shouts every morning since they have gathered for battle. His words has influenced them greatly as you can read in I Samuel 17:11

On hearing the Philistine's words, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified.

Has the Israeli army forgotten that they are God's army? It certainly seems so....
